Proper mold/mycotoxin testing [17:20] Scott says: Hello Robb and Nicki, I've been struggling with mycotoxins/Lyme.  I read Toxic by Dr. Nathan last October when my doctor diagnosed.  I am wondering can you recommend a company that can test for ERMI and do the plate testing.  I live in a 1 bedroom apartment.  I had testing done in October but was not as informed at that time and it was a company that did the basic air quality although even that did have some positives as well as my 1st GPL urine test and most recent one this month.  I live in Oak Park, IL which is a suburb of Chicago.  Thank you in advance for your time and information. With gratitude, Scott Davis 2. Fasted BJJ [19:43] Eric says: Hi Robb and Nicki, First, thanks for all that both of you do. I’m a listener since episode one of The Paleo Solution Podcast and continue to refer my personal training clients to all of your content, new and old. Ok, context first. I’ve been a time restricted eater for about a year and half and have had great results. Monday-Saturday I run an 18:6 protocol and Sunday’s are 16:8. Whether it’s 6am or towards the end of the TRE window, I feel good and perform well when I have a strength or sprint workout. Next week I start no gi BJJ from 11:30-1pm Tues/Thurs. I typically end my TRE around 12:30 or so but am wondering how BJJ workouts will play out. Should I supplement with quality sea salt and/or other electrolytes since they have little or no impact on most types of fasting (per Dr. Rhonda Patrick)? Of course I’m going to give it a whirl and see how it goes but just curious in case I end up needing something. Again, thanks and keep up the great work! 3. Statins vs PSK9 inhibitors for high LDLs [24:42] Dr. Mandal says: Hey Robb and Nicki. I shot this question off to the Peter Atia podcast also cause I'd be genuinely intrigued how someone with your biochemistry background would approach this problem, I know you can't give medical advice, but just wondering what ideas you'd have about treating someone like myself with an elevated LDL particle count who has an APOE3/E4 genotype. The LDL particle count did improve with a 3 times a week dosing with Lipitor 10mg. However, since statins work by diminishing the output of total cholesterol by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase would long term use of a statin eventually be detrimental to someone who is more prone to Alzheimer's dementia with an APOE3/E4 genotype? Would a PSK9 inhibitor be a better choice since it works by removing LDL particles? Additionally, total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL levels, and inflammatory markers are excellent and are controlled with a targeted keto-ish diet (<30g carbs- 6 days a week) x 8 years. I'm so grateful for all that you've done. I had stalled at 40 lbs lost. Because of you, Cordain and Sisson, along with my physicians, I've lost an additional 49 lbs over the last eight years. Your books and wonderful podcasts have helped me immeasurably and helped me help others in their pursuit of better health. Keep up the great work.

Best Conventional Meat Cut? [35:06] Whit says: Higher quality meat (e.g., pastured, grass-fed and finished) is the ideal, but life is not ideal. You mentioned b
